Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new approach to component allocation in heterogeneous embedded systems using Coloured Petri Nets (CPNs). While several techniques in optimization exist to solve the component allocation problem, this is the first paper to develop a corresponding CPN model and outline a technique to find an optimal and feasible allocation. The CPN model represents an advancement towards a model-driven engineering view of the problem allowing to subject the model to other types of non-functional analysis. We also exploit the use of CPN Tools, a well-known tool for analyzing CPNs, in generating the state spaces and finding optimal allocations.
